The delegations came from Corsica, Aragon, Catalonia, Valley of Aosta, Frioul,
Tunisia, Sardinia and a few other regions. One of the objectives was to
create an international network.

Europe:
The Sport Forum: (yearly mass with the sports ministers of the
EU and the delegates of the European sport movement) of the European Union
took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, after Biarritz, Budapest and Nicosie,
on September 30 and October 1st. Our delegate Jean Fulcrand reports that
the orientation of the European Commission, concerning sport, is still focussed
on economy, finance, transfert of players, professionalisation, marchandisation,
the whole with generally a forgotten human dimension. jfulcrand@numericable.fr

Europeans Programs: : For the first time in history,
the European Commission adopted a line "promotion of the European
traditional games and sports" in its action for sport. It is probably
one of the results of the different ETSGA actions by the European parliamentarians
and the Commission (call EAC/S03/2013). This preparatory action for the
program 2014-2020 has for goal to elaborate future actions of the European
Union in this domain, from the priorities established in the white Book
of 2007 on sport, and the 2011 communication titled “To develop
the European dimension of sport."

Projects: Following this call three projects have been
sent by ETSGA members in the month of July. VLaS (Belgium), the FIGeST
(Italy) and the AGA Verona (Italy). In the month of October, the two first
have received positive answers; for a total of 14 out of 135.

Recognition of the TSG.
Many books exist on the TSG, but they are often inaccessible to the majority
because the edition in only in one language. The necessity to translate
several basic books is obvious in order to have the means to promote the
ideas of ETSGA. For this helps exist within programs of the European commission.
